On Android, hold the power button until the menu shows up, them choose "lockdown". The next unlock will require a PIN.

"on Android" is a mostly useless statement. There are many flavours of it and they do not all behave the same. My phone does not have this.

I should have been more specific that this was a Pixel. Does your phone have a way to accomplish the same thing?

Restarting should also disable biometrics until you put a pin in once
